Still not happy with his lack of scoring in the paint. And also i noticed that he has less highlight dunks compared to last season(around december). Also he needs consistency.
And Wemby also has a higher 3PT and TS% than Devin Booker.well he has same FT % as Steph that’s a start

IMO, the best way to look at it is Wemby dominating while developing. That's what I tell people.
Curry 94%well he has same FT % as Steph that’s a start
Victor 85%
We need someone inside tbh. Wemby is not there to get his hands dirty. He is too weak, and his floping is even worse.
He decided to do an easy stuff, shooting outside adding some easy baskets when created by playmaking.
"Highlight" dunks should be at the bottom of what anyone looks for when assessing a player's performance, overall improvement, and contribution to winning.
He’s averaging 32 a game on efficient shooting over his last 8. Wtf more do you want
It's going to be interesting to see how his shot diet will develop throughout the course of the season. Will he end up taking more threes than twos like he is currently doing? Will his FT attempt rate continue to stay considerably lower than in his rookie season? I kind of hope the answer to both questions will be "no", even though I have come to somewhat acknowledge the reasoning behind him bombing away from downtown so much for now.
that's the problem
game against the kings is a great example of how Victor's post-ups can add variety to a team's offense
he can score with high efficiency and assist
He’s shooting better from both 2 and 3 this year, .621/534 and .350/.325. He can’t back people down and physically impose his will like traditional bigs. If you’re waiting for that, you will always be disappointed. He needs to use his shot to set up pump fake drives.
That’s what Sochan was doing before the injury.
Yes I know.
We do have Sochan and Barnes that will fill that role but idk if that's enough. Bassey is not that good , same with Collins.
STers surely want Wemby to be everything, everywhere, all at once, don't they? Hitting his 3s at a decent clip on high volume recently, and finally showing flashes of a post game implemented into that, and yet some are still dissatisfied and calling for him to become Giannis overnight, too.
haha
I get he was hyped like crazy but dude just had a 34 point td on efficient shooting and people acting like this is normal lmao
crofl
this kunt called my post a “re reddit take”
wemby just in your mouth for 3 weeks straight
im not saying highlight dunks should be his first priority, i just notice that he’s doing it less this season. I miss the alleyhoop dunks and posterize dunks.
OK, I got you. I do miss the highlight stuff though.
i haven’t seen a single poster dunk from him so far this season.
That one-handed, extra extension alley-oop dunk vs. the Clippers was nice.
Wemby suddenly having a hot streak is by no means validation of him jacking up 9.2 3s a game, when he is shooting 9 2s a game. More than half of his shots are 3 and by definition, 3s are a highly variable shot and it generally does not lead to FTs. He is obviously still amazing, but this shot diet is unreliable and also doesn't open up the offence for the other Spurs. The Spurs are 27th in the league in 2P attempts when they have a massive cheat code and supposedly a bunch of guys who can't shoot. They are also 20th in FTA when they have a guy like Wemby who can pretty much only be guarded by fouling him. The Spurs are not terrible on offence, but they are definitely average, and there are ways to improve the overall team offence.
Having Wemby shooting 3's at a rate that is 20% above league average, when he is 2% below league average is not overly smart. Having him shooting FTs at a rate 20% below league average when his FT shooting is 10% above league average also isn't the smartest way of doing things. With all the 3s Wemby is shooting (and making), he is only 5% above league average in TS%. Compare this to, say Curry, who for his career is 13% above average, Jokic who is 12% above, and everybody's favourite comp Durant who is 13% above. The biggest problem for Wemby is the lack of FTs, and much of it has to do with him jacking up quick 3s, where the opposition doesn't even have the chance to foul him.
I would still prefer to have Wemby start the offence in the high post, where teams just have to double team, triple team, or clog the paint to stop him from one-stepping in for a dunk/layup, this will open up the entire three point line for the other 4 Spurs. If the opposition decides to slag off non-shooters like Sochan or Castle, a screen and/or backdoor cut to the basket with a pop from the screener will do the trick. If the opposition do not double Wemby, he can either shoot it over his defender, or the other four players can just cut and weave until the defence is dizzy from all the movement. He can obviously still step out for threes, and if the Spurs are looking to basically extend the plays I mentioned above up to the three point line, then it would be incredible, but other than Curry, I really haven't seen anyone double teaming a three point shooter.
Wemby isn't the next Duncan or Hakeem on offence, he should model his game like Garnett and to a lesser extend the Admiral, with his range extended to 25 to 27 feet, but the bread and butter should still be around the high post area, where he is just going to be unstoppable. If Wemby can keep his 3 pters at around 5 to 6 a game, with about 12 to 13 2 pters (mostly on drives), he would still be highly efficient but I would bet he'd get about 4 or 5 more FTs a game. The efficiency would come out about the same or slightly higher, but it would put an immense pressure on the defence as he can put multiple bigs in foul trouble.
On defence, his agility and length will be a Garnett on steroids, and considering Garnett was one of the best defensive players of all time, Wemby is just going to wreck the league on that end.
We might see Wemby's 3 point rate decrease as he builds his conditioning. Right now he doesn't have the stamina to play a decent amount of minutes and be an all-universe rim protector and post up/drive dozens of times per game.
People seem to forget he's working his ass extra hard on the defensive end. Anchoring the defense and often having to bang down low against the likes of Sabonis, AD, Sengun, et al. Given his still developing body and body type it is just downright NOT smart to expect him to bang all out ON BOTH ENDS.
I fully support the kid shooting as many threes as he and the staff sees fit until he develops that shot into a respectable weapon (getting there every game) AND he grows into his body and gains more strength and stamina.
Go shoot em, Wemby!
Yep, this is it. I had no idea his three point shooting would come along so fast, and I'm still prepared for some rough nights where that shot isn't falling. But eventually Wemby is going to fully round out his game, and when that happens he'll be truly unstoppable. It all makes perfect sense unless you're too impatient to see the bigger picture. No skipping steps!
